Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: My goodness. The Minister said a number of times to Senator Warfield that she has been a Minister for only two years and has been doing all the work mentioned in that time. She has been a Minister for just short of two years. When I asked my first parliamentary question on this subject, which I believe was in July 2020, I got a general response.

It took three or four hours of my time. I was asking myself what the point was because everyone there was already convinced. What Dr. O'Sullivan said about working from home is really important.
